:00:00. > :00:00.and on BBC One we now Welcome to North West Tonight with
:00:00. > :00:07.Roger Johnson and Annabel Thffin. Inadequate and potentially tnsafe `
:00:08. > :00:11.acute services at Morecambe Bay Hospitals are condemned in
:00:12. > :00:15.a report leaked to this programme. The Trust which runs them s`ys
:00:16. > :00:19.improvements have already bden made. The family of a man attacked
:00:20. > :00:39.at the Parklife Music Festival We all absolutely adored hil and
:00:40. > :00:41.that person has taken him away from us.

:00:45. > :00:49.Heading for another brave l`nding ` an 89`year`old D`Day veteran
:00:50. > :01:13.It is a bit nerve wracking but it was good. I enjoyed it.
:01:14. > :01:15.BBC North West Tonight has exclusively obtained
:01:16. > :01:19.a confidential report which condemns acute hospital services
:01:20. > :01:26.On the crucial issue of pathent safety, the Trust's perform`nce
:01:27. > :01:32.The management of the Trust is also deemed to be inadequatd.
:01:33. > :01:35.The report was compiled by the health watchdog,
:01:36. > :01:39.Our health correspondent El`ine Dunkley joins us now from ottside
:01:40. > :01:57.We have received a report into the investigation by the CQC. The
:01:58. > :02:02.Morecambe Bay Hospital trust runs the Lancaster Royal informally and
:02:03. > :02:08.the University hospitals of Morecambe Bay. It serves 350,00
:02:09. > :02:13.people. There have already been two resignations and this report is
:02:14. > :02:17.highly critical about patient safety and leadership. One of the biggest
:02:18. > :02:22.concerns when looking through this report is staffing levels on the
:02:23. > :02:26.crypto keg unit and that thdy were unacceptably low. The trust was
:02:27. > :02:35.warned about dangerously low staffing levels. That report they
:02:36. > :02:40.did nothing about and that has been criticised also. There has been a
:02:41. > :02:46.long history here at Morecalbe Bay. There has been a high turnover of
:02:47. > :02:49.senior management, a high ntmber of medical errors, a police
:02:50. > :02:56.investigation into the high number of baby deaths at Furness Gdneral.
:02:57. > :03:04.This is a trust the CQC says has a long history of turbulence `nd it
:03:05. > :03:09.drafted a report and it suggests turbulence so is little timd of
:03:10. > :03:17.abating. Acute services are inadequate.
:03:18. > :03:20.After inspections in February, the overall judgement is th`t Acute
:03:21. > :03:22.services at the Trust are inadequate, safety is inadepuate
:03:23. > :03:26.But effectiveness of treatmdnt and care of patients is ratdd good.
:03:27. > :03:28.The Trust has three hospitalss in Barrow, Lancaster and Kendal
:03:29. > :03:30.The report, in terms of man`gement, acknowledges:
:03:31. > :03:32.a high turnover of senior leadership and saxs
:03:33. > :03:34.there's no clear strategy for the future provision of services.
:03:35. > :03:37.It has a higher number of ndver events than similar Trusts.
:03:38. > :03:39.And staff say they felt disconnected from senior management.It
:03:40. > :03:41.The long standing nature of the problems indicates that
:03:42. > :03:44.the leadership within the Trust lacks the capacity to effectively
:03:45. > :03:46.manage these challenges in a prompt and timely manndr.
:03:47. > :03:48.In staffing, the Trust has recruited an additional 135 people
:03:49. > :04:03.The Chief Executive paid with his job. The medical director and
:04:04. > :04:08.chairman have left. There h`s been enough scalps and now we nedd action
:04:09. > :04:14.and a change to weigh the trust is lead.
:04:15. > :04:16.Nurse levels in the Critical Care Unit
:04:17. > :04:20.The Trust was warned in October 2013 about dangerously low staffhng
:04:21. > :04:25.It still had not complied with that warning notice.
:04:26. > :04:28.And there were shortages in paediatrics and surgical services
:04:29. > :04:34.at Royal Lancaster and in A at Lancaster and Furness.
:04:35. > :04:37.The Trust has now been ordered to fix staffing levels, improvd record
:04:38. > :04:39.keeping and incident reporthng and ensure appropriate action is taken
:04:40. > :04:43.The report does highlight some good points.
:04:44. > :04:44.Patient care and treatment was effective.
:04:45. > :04:49.Staff worked hard to providd safe and compassionate care
:04:50. > :04:58.for patients and dementia p`tients were cared for in a thoughtful way.
:04:59. > :05:07.There were some positives to come out including patient care `nd staff
:05:08. > :05:13.were compassionate and caring. The Chief Executive is not allowed to
:05:14. > :05:18.comment on the draft of this report however she has listed improvements
:05:19. > :05:22.such as a ?1.5 million investment into record management and the
:05:23. > :05:28.recruitment of 350 nurses. This trust has a long way to go. We have
:05:29. > :05:32.heard the hospitals will be put in to smash all measures if
:05:33. > :05:38.improvements are not made. `` special measures. Some
:05:39. > :05:40.responsibility would be takdn out of the trust's hands.
:05:41. > :05:51.I'm joined now by the Labour MP for Barrow and Furness, John Woodcock.
:05:52. > :05:59.What has been the most worrxing aspect? Even after this perhod of
:06:00. > :06:05.turmoil it `` turmoil where staff have been working hard to ilprove
:06:06. > :06:10.things across our local hospitals, it seems adequate improvements have
:06:11. > :06:16.not been made. I suppose thhs raises the spectre of special meastres and
:06:17. > :06:25.also the idea that a new te`m could come in with a need to, as they see
:06:26. > :06:31.it, cut as quickly as possible and not take into account the absolutely
:06:32. > :06:38.vital need that we have in the Furness area and other parts of the
:06:39. > :06:43.trust to keep those services they're serving patients. Do you thhnk it is
:06:44. > :06:47.time to put the trust into special measures, bearing in mind that we
:06:48. > :06:54.have had report after report and have done so many trust where it has
:06:55. > :06:58.been criticised? We need a new chairman and a new medical director
:06:59. > :07:07.and both of those need to bd up to the task. This is going to depend on
:07:08. > :07:11.what the attitude of the regulators and government is. Are they prepared
:07:12. > :07:15.to work to maintain and protect services here or are they going to
:07:16. > :07:19.take the slash and burn approach that you have seen in other areas
:07:20. > :07:28.which has been about stripphng out services that they seem our `` they
:07:29. > :07:33.see are substandard? They nded to have vibrant local hospitals. It is
:07:34. > :07:39.simply a matter of life and death that we keep those acute services
:07:40. > :07:45.there. If we don't do that, over the years, many lives will be lost so it
:07:46. > :07:49.is absolutely essential that people listen to us now and work whth us to
:07:50. > :07:53.retain and improve services rather than cut them.
:07:54. > :07:56.A former safety officer of Sheffield Wednesday has admhtted
:07:57. > :08:00.the system the club used to count fans into pens was deeply flawed.
:08:01. > :08:04.But Graham Mackrell, a former secretary at the club, said

:14:10. > :14:18.Our political editor Arif Ansari has been to Rochdale to find out.
:14:19. > :14:25.He is more used to exposing scandal than being under the spotlight but
:14:26. > :14:31.this weekend, Simon Danczuk faced tabloid aggregations that hd used
:14:32. > :14:36.job `` that he used drugs. H got involved with drugs many ye`rs ago
:14:37. > :14:40.before I came into Parliament. I was approached by a newspaper to ask
:14:41. > :14:46.whether I had used drugs and I thought the right thing was to
:14:47. > :14:53.answer honestly. I said I h`d and described the drugs I had used. His
:14:54. > :14:54.ex`wife met him when he was a mature student at Lancaster University in
:14:55. > :15:12.the 1990s and told the newspaper, : At his cafe in Rochdale, thd only
:15:13. > :15:16.drugs on sale are the alcoholic variety. In the Delhi, the Sunday
:15:17. > :15:22.papers would have made interesting reading but how much do people care
:15:23. > :15:27.what their MP got up to in the past? He has done a lot of good for the
:15:28. > :15:32.town and what is in the past is in the past. It doesn't bother me. It
:15:33. > :16:16.would if you was doing it now but not in the past. That was then
:16:17. > :16:19.gone by. It does inform my view from a political perspective in terms of
:16:20. > :16:23.drug policy and legislation. The admission is unlikely to affect his
:16:24. > :17:43.career and he says there ard no more skeletons in his cupboard.
:17:44. > :17:49.This study was carried out here in Manchester and it says concdrn about
:17:50. > :17:53.unemployment and social problems is compounded by a sense that
:17:54. > :18:00.politicians and the media don't care enough. I don't think they care
:18:01. > :18:06.They have the big houses. I wouldn't trust any of them as far as I could
:18:07. > :18:18.throw them. The local MP saxs he does care and blames bad decisions
:18:19. > :18:23.by government. We see this country is playing into the European Union
:18:24. > :18:30.which is providing extreme `nd severe competition in the jobs
:18:31. > :18:31.market. I look up to him because he is upper`class but I looked down to
:18:32. > :18:35.him because he is lower class. Britain's changed beyond recognition
:18:36. > :18:38.since this take on the class sytem But is the working class anx
:18:39. > :18:56.worse off than in earlier thmes You had the workhouses in Vhctorian
:18:57. > :19:02.times but it has been much lore concentrated. You are not s`ying it
:19:03. > :19:08.is worse now than in Victorhan times? We have a situation where we
:19:09. > :19:14.have middle England people claiming food passes is. It is all rdlative.
:19:15. > :19:16.Failure to tackle the issues, say the report?s authors, is storing
:19:17. > :19:23.Now let's look at the sport with Richard and fall`out
:19:24. > :19:27.from the England game first of all, an England game where ten of the 11
:19:28. > :19:41.Every single player of the Dngland team started here.
:19:42. > :19:44.Yes, Chelsea's Gary Cahill who used to play for Bolton of coursd, was
:19:45. > :19:52.Liverpool had five players who kicked off,
:19:53. > :19:55.Everton and Manchester Unitdd two and City, just keeper Joe H`rt.
:19:56. > :19:59.But it's Wayne Rooney in particular who's been the focus of attdntion.
:20:00. > :20:01.He played predominantly on the left and certainly
:20:02. > :20:07.But then it was his excellent cross that led to Daniel Sturridgd's goal.
:20:08. > :20:10.Rooney did have a great chance at 2`1 as well but couldn't take it.
:20:11. > :20:13.And whether the United forw`rd should play or play in another
:20:14. > :20:21.position against Uruguay on Thursday is now a big call for Roy Hodgson.
:20:22. > :20:24.Some good news to report now, the all`clear from cancer for Tranmere
:20:25. > :20:27.The 25`year`old revealed thhs afternoon that that he is

:20:31. > :20:32.Joe, who also played for Rochdale, was diagnosed with Hodgkin's
:20:33. > :20:59.His priority is getting the team back into League 1. I went to see
:21:00. > :21:06.how he plans to do it. The global spotlight is fixed on Lionel Messi
:21:07. > :21:13.on the world's biggest stagd. For league managers come the focus
:21:14. > :21:20.remains closer to home. The final whistle goes and Tranmere whll be in
:21:21. > :21:24.League 2 next season. They have to put relegation behind them `nd the
:21:25. > :21:29.manager knows the only way back is to hit the ground running. How
:21:30. > :21:34.excited are you about getting them back there? It is an area that I
:21:35. > :21:43.know and people know about football. They want a team that excitds them.
:21:44. > :21:52.He is not a kick and rush m`n and says the flow can work. It hs easier
:21:53. > :21:58.said than done. Liverpool and Everton play a certain brand of
:21:59. > :22:02.football that can win games. The players are capable of doing it you
